The property was in a great location. Our only issue was when we went to check in the lady at the front desk was arguing back and forth with another worker behind the desk instead of taking care of the customers checking in and we were starting to back up a bit. Our room was clean and comfortable. Did have a slight musty odor but we had a diffuser with us and it was fine.

We had a wedding nearby so we only needed a place to sleep. It was ok. Had an issue with card key, but they came right to the room to help. The only other thing is that there was a wet towel hanging on the hook in the bathroom when we checked in. One other thing was it kept looking the like toilet was going to over flow every time you flushed it. That was a little nerve racking. Breakfast was good. Coffee was good too.

Mold on bathroom ceiling
Hotel.com charged my card $1 hold for the reservation. No problem there. The Clarion then charged me a hold of $160 again, no problem. But when we got to the hotel, they charged me the full $320 but the holds wont drop off for another 2 days. We got to the hotel at 11:35pm so all of us were exhausted. We went right to sleep. The mattresses were not comfortable at all, very old and we know this bc the sheets got pulled off during the night from all the restless sleep. We also saw a huge patch of mold in the top corner of the bathroom. The breakfast in the morning was also very bare minimum and the sausage, eggs, and potatoes were bland and dry and overcooked. Breakfast opened at 7am, we got there at 730am. Luckily we didn't spend much time in the room. Only really there to sleep. Parking is hit or miss, not too far a walk from the lot to the room. I had great hopes for this Inn bc of its historic qualities, but unfortunately we will not be staying there again.

The Hotel Needs a Makeover
Pros: The bed and pillows were comfortable. Overall, the property was quiet and peaceful. Breakfast items were fine, although it would have been nice to see some fruit. Cons: The hotel is in need of a makeover, badly. 1) The room was dirty in several spots: the wall near the waste basket, the baseboards, and corners. It seems like these items get overlooked. 2) The paint job in the room is poorly done; it is unprofessional and sloppy. 3) The carpet looks old and unclean; it needs to be replaced. 4) The furniture, specifically the bed frame and the framed picture , is a bit outdated. The picture is placed oddly on the wall. I wouldn’t mind the antique furniture if the rest of the room was clean and spotless, but this wasn’t the case. (The dresser is a bit worn, although it was nice). 5) The bathroom needs to be properly painted and updated. There is no vent. 6) The continental breakfast area, specifically the sun room, needs to be cleaned more. The windows were worn; (one could barely see through it); and the paint job looks bad. Again, it’s unprofessional. Other common areas, such as the staircase and the hotel exterior need to be cleaned and washed. I have been to motels that have looked better and were priced much lower. Having spent $170 plus tax ($188 total) on a one night stay on Saturday, we expected much more.

The 2 pieces of furniture in the room were stained and tattered as was the carpet. I didn't even want to take off my shoes or shower. I just got in the bed and left as soon as I woke up. No one was at the desk when I checked out so I didn't complain to anyone.

The facility really was very outdated and in need of an extreme renovation. The room had peeling paint,a gross tub/shower combo and very worn out and mismatched furniture wooded blinds didn’t even close. Bathroom sinks were moldy in drain areas. Mini fridge was gross. Everything needed a good solid cleaning. We checked out after one night. We had a wedding so had to stay for that.

Ok at best
While the staff was super nice and the outside of the hotel (minus the kids toys outside with overgrown grass) the room was ok at best. It smelled quite dusty- and there was cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. The biggest problem was the shower. THERE WAS BLACK MOLD AND WATER ICK ON THE SHOWER HEAD AND AROUND THE TUB!!! I told the front staff and he said he would send someone “right away” to fix it. The bed was by far the WORST and hardest bed I’ve slept in in a LONG time. It was so uncomfortable. The room size was nice. The breakfast was not very appealing and the “sun room” it was served in was so hot it was uncomfortable. Will not stay again.

This was a bad experience. I had made a reservation for two rooms for two nights. My daughter and grandson checked in the first night. Due to travel issues, I arrived about noon the second day, assuming that the room would be available since both rooms were prepaid. The fellow at the front desk said there was no reservation and that the hotel was booked solid. I showed him the reservation, which included two rooms, with the prepayment. The guy told me that I would have to get a refund from Expedia, the third party booking agent. I contacted Expedia, who called the hotel. When the rep called me back, he said there would be no refund from the hotel or Expedia because of the hotel’s policy. Bottom line, the hotel profited twice on the one room and refused to accommodate in any way. Expedia did end up giving me a credit to use within 16 months. I appreciate Expedia for that. As for the accommodations that my daughter experienced, the hotel is somewhat dated and there is a noticeable gap between the bottom of the entry door to the room and the floor. Not sealed properly. Of the hotels that I have booked with Expedia, this one is a stinker. The weekend did work out for the good. I stayed at a VRBO in Quarryville that was quaint and comfortable, with very hospitable hosts—at half the price of the Clarion Inn.

The room had accumulated dust on the chair rails and black table lamp. Shower head was terrible. Water came out like an hose, straight down. Could not be adjusted.and while showering there was over 2 inches of standing water in the tub. Faulty drain. The AC/heater made loud noises that would wake you up when they came in. I won’t stay there again.

Refrigerators are not working well. Door to my room was standing open when I came to put my belongings in. Because I booked through you, they won’t give me rewards for the stay. We’ve stayed here many times but front desk service has declined and concern for the consumer has also deteriorated.
